any pics of the car? You should definitely be able to get into the high to mid 11's with that thing,my superbee was 3825lbs with me in it and got to 11.60 and it was 446 cubes with a six pack.That converter is definitely an item to change,maybe something like a turbo action 10" or a 9.5 dynamic.Both would provide a great launch and still very streetable IMO.Keep chipping away sounds like you are headed in the right direction.By the way,what Carb and intake do you have on it?If you are running a smallish carb you can pick up a few tenths by upgrading.What fuel pump?We here at moparts are all experts at spending other peoples money,so lets get you down into the mid-11"s !!!
